Roger's Park

Rogers Park is the northernmost of Chicago community areas in the far North Side of Chicago, Illinois. It is bounded by the City of Evanston at Juneway Terrace and Howard Street to the north, Ridge Boulevard to the west, Devon Avenue\Edgewater to the south and Lake Michigan to the east. The neighborhood just to the west is often called West Rogers Park, although its formal name is West Ridge. Rogers Park is anchored by Loyola University Chicago and the Jesuit religious order. Historic places of interest include Madonna Della Strada, the chapel motherchurch of the Jesuit Province of Chicago (one of the largest Jesuit provinces).

Rogers Park continued to see massive changes in its demographics into the twenty first century. The 2000 census data showed it to be one of, if not the most, diverse communities in the entire country, with a robust mix of ethnic backgrounds, languages, age diversity, and a wide range of family incomes. However, this diversity has been affected by the gentrification of the community. Much of the rental housing converted to condominiums since 2000 formerly housed racial and ethnic minority households. More than 90% of the new homeowners are white households, according to the Woodstock Institute, a nonprofit advocacy and research organization.[citation needed]

Rogers Park contains many houses of prayer of different religions and denominations.
